There's a new white piece taking shape here. Lace and Broderie Anglaise with some vintage cloth, pieced, tacked, ready to be embellished. (in case you are wondering, this was already on the pile yesterday. I haven't added it since I gave myself that pep talk)
So far one seam has been secured with French knots and gimp has been embroidered to the edge of that section almost like it is spilling from the seam. Tiny glass beads will adorn this seam too, just not yet. I am desperate to add them now but experience tells me it's better to do that last. I just hope I can restrain myself.
As for the embroidery across the rest of this piece.....there will be a lot of gimp, almost certainly there will be zillions of loops, the rest? I haven't decided yet.
